In a violation of the U.S. Constitution, Trigg County Judge Hollis Alexander refused to marry a couple because they were atheists requesting a secular ceremony.
Judge Alexander refused to marry Mandy Heath and her fiance because they are both non-religious, and they didn’t want any mention of God in their secular marriage ceremony.
When Heath went to file the necessary paperwork at the local courthouse on the day before their wedding, Judge Alexander explained that he would not perform the legal ceremony because of his sincerely held religious beliefs.
In attempting to justify why he was refusing to perform his legal duty and honor the request for a simple, secular wedding, Judge Alexander declared.
I will be unable to perform your wedding ceremony… I include God in my ceremonies and I won’t do one without.
Unbelievable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't it especially ironic given that a surprisingly large number of the weapons trafficked illegally around the country are stolen from police evidence lockers, and the White Nationalist group known as The Oathkeepers, which is composed primarily of corrupt local sheriffs, is widely believed to be the single largest supplier of the weapons trafficked by Aryan Nation gun runners?
Or maybe it's not ironic at all, and it's just that white nationalist groups are corrupt as all hell? less

The twist is several of the users are legally blind, and the belief is that people who are blind will be better at identifying who the people are. After the introductions and attempts at identification, the patients will all be put through brain-scans, because the object of the study is to identify characteristics of the anterior insular cortex associated with the ability to recognize individuals and behavioral traits.
Do you think the blind people will really be better able to correlate online behavior to in person introductions? Are there other behaviors or traits that you would tend to associate with an improved ability to match people you meet in real life to their online behavior? less

They don't know how to judge objectively and scientifically.
Before a person is put to death, that person is in the hands of dozens of middle-class or worse, rich folk with college degrees. They cannot afford to just back the right side. They may be losing their cushy careers in the process. In these days when an expensive car far outclasses something boring like integrity, it is impossible to care about the victim of the Death Penalty who may be innocent. They* get bad MARKS AGAINST them when they do not win a case.
How insane is that?

For more details on this topic, see Capital punishment in Texas.
Perry supports the death penalty. In June 2001, he vetoed a ban on the execution of mentally retarded inmates. As of September 18, 2014, there have been 278 executions since Perry first took office in December 2000.
Cases in which Perry has been criticized for his lack of intervention include those of Cameron Todd Willingham, Frances Newton, and Mexican nationals José Medellín and Humberto Leal Garcia.
Perry commuted the death sentence of Kenneth Foster, who was convicted of murder despite evidence that he was only present at the scene of the crime. Foster was convicted under a Texas law that makes co-conspirators liable in certain cases of homicide. In this case, it tied Foster to the triggerman. Perry raised doubts about the law and urged the legislature to re-examine the issue. "I believe the right and just decision is to commute Foster's sentence from the death penalty to life imprisonment," Perry said in a statement at the time.
